Ooooh, just look at that lovely little face! That's an absolutely stunning photo, too. It would make a beautiful framed picture.
She seems to be saying "Whatcha doing , Mum?"
 
Daisy, Rose and Lily or Ruby are very common names for piggy girls. Amber is also quite popular as there are lots of gingery piggies.
We have also had a fair number of Peppa Pigs of either gender over the years! There have been a few Tom and Jerry couples. Dougal from the Magic Roundabout has stood godfather to several longhaired black and white piggies.

PS: Mabel means lovable (from Latin via the name Amabel) - surely that is a great name for a piggy? @ayemee

So far, I haven't seen all that many piggies with Welsh names on here.
 
As for common piggie names; I don't think I've ever come across another piggie with one of my names on here or anywhere else. Maybe a Bonnie perhaps, but never a Clyde, Inka, Maya, Beano, Dandy, certainly not Crow Feather or Swan. Maybe I'll start a trend!

That's lovely. I never knew that, so thank you. She definitely fits her name then! ;)
 
For a long time I was giving my pigs Inca or Spanish names, as they were originally from South America; When I'd first take them to the vet, I'd always get "ok, and what did you name THIS one?" "uh, Pachacutec Yupanqui. But Pacha will be just fine!: "
 
My two are Sam and Pip :) I'm pretty sure they are common names :) never seen them on here though but I'm sure they are common name xD
 
Plenty of Casper/Kasper variations and I think I have seen another Quinn on here somewhere :)

First she was going to be re-named Goldie, then Meg, but then Amber came to me and she just seemed to fit it. :)

OH, MY! This picture is SO ADORABLE! I could just look at it forever. What a gorgeous little expression Amber has! It kind of sums up how I feel sometimes (but never look this cute when feeling it)... content, fatigue, uncertainty, ! LOVE IT!!!!!
 
Haven't come across a Rambo as yet, seen a Patch and Lucky. Not sure about Maple and Pecan
Now Ive noticed Rory to be a popular name no other Hops on here to my knowledge

The most memorable piggie called Rory on here was so funny, he had a towel which he would pull and pull until it got close his slaves fingers and she would be like.... RORY NO!
 
We have Squeak and Freda - named by my mum in law, and she has Pip and Mummy. Freda was called Wilfred when she was born but it turned out she was a girl, and so became Freda.
 
My Lola is a very common name, I've mostly seen dogs called Alfie - not piggies. ;)
 
I Had Andy and Murray andy is now over rainbow bridge, capt Jack sparrow, also over rainbow bridge. So now it Murray and DARIUS. Any one got a piggy called Darius x

Just like common/popular human names, I've notice that there is common piggie names when reading threads on this forum. I've seen other folks with same piggie names such as mine... Peanut, Snowball, Pumpkin but have not read/seen a piggie name Skittles or Aristotle :D

i have a 19-20yr old bristlenosed ancistrus (aquarium catfish) called Aristotle :))
Not heard of many Aristotles though :)
I have an Ellie (very popular) she was called that when I got her &Grace after an eccentric aunt Grace I had that always ran off at great speed doing zoomies so G-uinea RACE :)
Oh the furball not my aunt doing zoomies :))
 
When I first got my girls I took ages to decide on names. I decided on Honey and Daisy due to their colours (Honey - Brown and tan. Daisy -white and tan) then I joined this forum and over the years I have seen a fair few Daisys and also a couple of Honeys! I named my newest piggy Maple which is slightly less common I think!
 
I actually have seen those names somewhere on here....
I believe it's only my Sister & I with Pumpkin & Peanut.... And everyone knows that.;)
 
Never come across another Pitch and Putt (RIP) who were our first piggies. Treacle (RIP) and Cookie are popular names. Never met another Megan (RIP) but I expect others have. Vimto and Sarsaparilla seem pretty unique . We thought Widget would be too but @katanamoon has her widget as well. Great minds think a like.
 
I have Pumpkin, Boo, Hector Plasm and Jack Skellington.

Previous pigs were Toffee (Buffy) Ripple (Willow) Honey, Evangeline, Antonia,Caroline, Aztec, Moche, Rufus and Sebastian, Bubble and Squeak, Nelson and Napoleon, Patch.
 
I got twix and mars already named and continued the trend after twix passed away. I now have mars, nugget and popcorn. I also had malteser the hamster but she passed away and now we have coconut the hamster :). All my rodent names are moonlight, misty, mars, twix, nugget, popcorn, malteser and coconut. My friend has a boy pig called misty but I have never come across guinea pigs named twix but I think I may have seen on YouTube guinea pigs called mars, nugget or popcorn (possibly spelt differently) but I can't be sure :).
 
We have had a few odd Guinea Pig name in the past. Our first was a Stripes, and then we had a Fruitloops or Fruity for short (I am pretty sure I picked that name as a joke and it just stuck!) After that we had the brothers Huey and Stuey and now Poe. Suffice to say I have never met another Guinea pig called Fruitloops. However, i am pretty sure there is a Poe on this forum and i know of other Huey and Stuey's (and louis) named by the same shelter.
